AI Thread Summary
To calculate the percent yield of SO2 from CS2 in the reaction CS2 + 3O2 --> CO2 + 2SO2, the actual yield of SO2 is given as 0.112g. The formula for percent yield is Actual Yield divided by Theoretical Yield multiplied by 100%. Participants in the discussion express uncertainty about how to determine the theoretical yield based on the given amounts of reactants. The conversation emphasizes the need to first calculate the theoretical yield using stoichiometry before applying the percent yield formula. Understanding these calculations is essential for solving the problem accurately.

Homework Statement


What is the % yield of 0.112g S02 obtained from the combination of 0.0781g of CS2 according to the reaction CS2 + 3O2 --> CO2 + 2SO2


Homework Equations


I believe it's Actual yield / Theoretical yield x 100% ?


The Attempt at a Solution



Not sure would 0.112g go under the AY? I don't now even know where to start.

Looks like you know what you're doing. The equation's right and the actual yield is .112 g SO2. How do you find the theoretical yield?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
